Kenmore is a lovely lively country town situated in a bay Macgillycuddy Reeks in the north and the Caha Mountains in the east. The Irish name for the city is "Neidin", which means "little nest" which is fitting due to its position nestled between the mountains. There are plenty of places to fuel up here before taking on the mighty Caha Pass!

Kenmare is a cosy town on a deep bay between the Macgillycuddy Reeks in the north and the Caha Mountains in the east. The Irish name for the city is "Neidin", which means "little nest" — perhaps because Kenmare is nestled between the mountains. Of course from Kenmare you have a great view into the bay. In the city itself, the colourfully painted houses are an absolute eye-catcher.
